Pimento Cheese & Thyme Gougeres

Every culture has their staple ball of dough recipe, usually embedded in a persons palate from childhood visits to grandma’s house. Whether it is pan de queso, a donut whole, Jin deui, or the this southern Pimento Cheese & Thyme Gougeres they all share one common factor; comfort.

 

As I was reading this recipe could feel the scent of thyme steaming out from the gougeres as I imagined splitting it in my two hands, fresh out of the oven, and just before taking that first bite.
